Hypocrisy in U.S. Policy Toward Palestinian Rights
The recent killing of a Hamas leader fighting against Israeli occupation exposes the deep contradictions in U.S. foreign policy. For decades, the United States has prided itself as a defender of freedom and self-determination. Yet, it has ignored the Palestinians' struggle for those same rights since 1948. The continuous U.S. military aid to Israel only strengthens the occupation, denying Palestinians the right to resist oppression.
This glaring hypocrisy undermines America’s commitment to the principles it claims to uphold. While the U.S. supports the right of some to resist tyranny, it dismisses the Palestinians’ quest for dignity and justice. If the United States truly believes in its stated values, it must shift its stance, advocate for a just peace, and acknowledge the Palestinian right to self-determination and to live in dignity, free from Israeli oppression. Since Israel's founding, no American president has shown the courage to denounce the occupation or halt arms deliveries, enabling this prolonged tragedy.
It is time to take meaningful action: impose an immediate embargo on all weapons to Israel and demand the urgent restoration of food and clean water access in Gaza—not after 30 days, but now. Any delay reflects a disregard for the sanctity of life and the dignity of the Palestinian people.
